The only problem with that Akuma is that if evolution was only within species you would still expect similar species to be near it due to it being what's best for that particular enviorment.

Convergent Evolution is ironically a good example of this.

Birds and Bats both have wings yet their last common ancestor did not.

It does not seem impossible that a creature could develop a system that is very similar to another less complex creature.

 

But why is there an extra phospholipid bilayer that exists almost nowhere else in nature?  That is incredibly strong evidence that they were actually brought into ancestral cells through their phospholipid bilayers (as a vesicle) and eventually became a functioning part of the cell.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
